Comparability — General

Chile significantly reorganized administrative divisions between 1970 and 1982, so the 1960 and 1970 samples are not included in MIG2_5_CL.

Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially-defined municipalities/communes have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring municipalities.

Boundary changes for MIG2_5_CL are too numerous to list, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.

For the country of residence of international migrants, see MIGCTRY5 (Country of residence 5 year ago).
